ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an anti-sense oligodeoxynucleotide to mRNA for one of major fibrogenic cytokines, TGF-.beta., which is secreted in large quantities in wound portion and then stimulates the fibrinoid degeneration of the tissue. The anti-sense oligodeoxynucleotide according to the present invention is complementarily bound to mRNA of TGF-.beta. to inhibit the genetic expression thereof and thus can inhibit the scarring due to the production of fibrogenic cytokines and the fibrinoid degeneration at the wound portion to treat the wound portion so as to have an appearance substantially identical to the normal tissue. Accordingly, the present invention also relates to the use of anti-sense oligodeoxynucleotide to TGF-.beta. as a scarring inhibitor.
